From day 1 i got pregnant, I planned to fully breastfeed at least 1st 3 months... and hoping to strive up to 6 months and slowly trying to achieve till a year, AT LEAST!!
Cos by that time, fomula milk dah murah mahh... ahaks!!!! Tak ler, reason why i really wanna breastfeed tis time cos i have been wanting since 1st child but ada "hiccups" skit ler time tu... and same goes to 2nd child. Its all due to the "stubborn-ness" of ibu. Only Frasians will know why.... SHIT ME right Goon???
Actually i have no problem latching Adly to me and giving him direct BM but hor, when i express out my BM, its seem decreasing lei? How eh? Normally i will express at least 80ml... but now, 40ml!! Sob Sob Sob.............
Maybe i didnt drink that much but cant be lei, i togok water like nobody biz!! I even drink Milo for teatime... drink BreastFeeding Anmum twice a day!! I'M CONFUZEDDDDDD..... How to stock up as much EBM (expressed breastmilk) to get myself ready to go to work or for Azmi's bonding time wif Adly if the quantity so little?
Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Then yesterday, my uncle's wife came to visit me (he's only older that me 1 year but follow family generation, he's my uncle lah...) and she said she took Fenugreek to boost up her BM level. Mum eva told me that she saw Su expressing a medium size Avent bottle meaning its 250ml!!! Duuuhhh, thats great.... sure baby full tummy wor!!! And now her baby is only 4 going 5 mths old!!!
Okies... so now, experienced mummies out there DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?
But one thing for sure, i'm going out tomorrow to grab a Fenugreek... I don wan Adly to be hungry wor!!
P/S: Did i mention GOING OUT? Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....
hehehe...ni dari experience tapi dah lamer so tk tau kalau masih bleh pakai ke tk...kekekeke 9yrs bck u...ahakzzz...fenugreek is gd...as u noe I have twins kan so susah kalau nk breastfeed direct...to produce more milk u have to juz latch Adly on & let him suck as much milk & as many times as he needs I noe it's hard but kan have to lah beb even if it means at every hour & also express out using pump for EBM both ways ur milk will slowly increase don worry about expressing out too little coz d body will noe how much to produce to suit Adly's needs...hope tis helps...
ReplyDeleteHei Julzzz.... TQ for ur words!!! A'ah i forget that u had twins, sure their demand is DOUBLE!!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway i will heed ur advice, latching & latching... even though he will only wake up for feedings every 2 hours.... muackkkkksss to u Julz!!!
i hv a fren who cant express much milk but no problem when feeding direct. juz feed & feed lah wheneva adly cries. ada org ckp d more u feed, d more milk u wil hv tau.
ReplyDeleteSi budak Adly ni, keja dia TIDO jer... bangun jus for feeding which is every 2 hours. Masa feeding pongz, after 1 side breast jer dia dah sleep... kena kejutsss for burping baru offer 2nd breast... tu pasal i panggil dia MAT 'S'
ReplyDelete1) Mat Stoone (nak sleeeeeeeeeeppp jer and thats y i got time logging in Multiply)
2) Mat Sedak (slalu tersedak kalau minum nenen ibu dia...)
3) Mat Sengeh (tak pasal2 senyum masa sleep... tido dalam IMAN)
4) Mat Sedots (dia nyer sucking technique, worrrr power!! Sakit anu mak nyahhh... maklum ler, boy ler katakan... smula jadik good sucker kot? Ahaksss)

ReplyDeletenanti i confinement i wil stay at mums at jur. haiya..no internet so boring.
ReplyDeletei dpt breast feed ean sekejap aje...abt 1mth. it just gets dry easily...banyak org kata makan sayur bayam masak sop banyak2...insya-Allah banyak, tapi i've never try...u give it a try lah
ReplyDeleteEuuuwww, GaNaz anak ko Nyah....
ReplyDeleteHihih... tu yg mak sewammmm... 6 mths cukup ler eh but hubby kept pushing 1 yr.
We'll see hor... kalau Adly gigit, ibu jotos Adly nyer keparaaaaaa...
Ooppssss, don tell Azmi i said tis
*CaButZzzzzzzzzzzz smunyik bawak quilt*
Makan tu memang ler senang, tapi nak "siang" itu sayur bayam punya lah perit... i paling tak suka "siang" sayur bayam. leceh!!! Beli bayam 2 ikat, lepas siang, dapat stotet-et jer... ahaks!!!
ReplyDeleteoh yes there is one sayur mkn nanti banyak susu. dat is pucuk ubi. kalau masak lemak, sedap tu.
ReplyDeletetis part needs effort...*wink*
ReplyDeleteI nie.. both anak I just gave up breast feeding.. but now macam miss gitu. Entah eh, i find it macam leceh. I guess it's my rugi. Hmph, for me susu keep overflowing macam aper. I makan ikan banyak so my mom said maybe that is the reason why
ReplyDeleteHhhmmm, can i substitute all veggie intake by drinking Pedisure milk fomula instead? Hihihihi....mak tak suka makanggg sayur nohhhh. Kobis, cauliflower, bayam, carrot, tomatoes & lettuce tu ok ler but the rest, duuuhhh ada skit payau!!
ReplyDeleteActually me also don fancy breastfeed (BF) cos i also tot its leceh. But after i saw some of my gf went holiday wifout carrying hot flask, sufficient mild fomula... tu yg motivates me to BF. Baby melalak jer, sumbatzzzzzzzzzz... hihihihi
ReplyDeleteni aidil nya kakak yg bilang i mkn pucuk ubi tapi i tak mkn lah heheh.....pasal i nya susu dah banyak. u knw she has been BF since 1994 till now 2007 fr her 1st to 5th child. tak pernah stop BF for 13yrs. her youngest child is 4yrs old & stil BF. i tengok pun bleh stress ashik selak & sumbat aje hehehe......
ReplyDeletetulah.. i also tengok my friends macam senang ajer.. now I am thinking of BF again.
ReplyDeleteDrink plenty of milk. Avoid drinking tea/ coffee too much. Drink more vegetable soup especially cabbage soup or spinach soup. Don't stress yourself. If you stress, your brain will destruct all the movements in your body including your milk. Night time before going to bed, massage your breast in circular motion to promote milk circulation. Good luck!
ReplyDeletecongrats sis on ur determination to bf! i full bf my 1st child till 8mths w/out any fomula or solid & my 2nd child till 20mths(start solid when 12mths)... alhamdullilah... besar jugak budak2 tu heee...
ReplyDeleteits all mentality, even if you took fenugreek or whatever vitamins, gd food eg... its just an assistance. important is you really want to bf(& dun care bout others who try to be nice & insist dat u dun hv enuf milk!!urgghhh!)....
first 2mths is not advisable to pump-out as the lactation is definitely not the same...
some pump-out but then after some time, bm easily dried up.
direct feeding is definitely the best (unless u really cant but as i said mothers mentality) as the bonding is better & milk supply is consistent.
do not store any fomula at home as you will end up suplement baby with it (dats what i did for my 1st child & end up bm dried up for 3wks before i start to lactate again!!)...
gd luck! any more queries can PM me as im a BMSG member....
Marlini
wah zue this entry is gewdddd *will keep a lookout in here always*
ReplyDeleteerr...sayur pucuk ubi eh? bukan cekur manis?
fenugreek ni apa nyah?
someone told me to pump out the remaining milk after baby finished feeding...so if adly only lactate on one breast, pump out any remains on dat breast plus pump out the other side as well... it will increase milk supply insha allah...
as to why pumping out is necessary, the answer is simple, as my aunt puts it, the more we ask, the more we get. plus, we need to empty the breasts after each feeding so as not to hv engorged breasts...sakitttt nyahhh ...
U go gerl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMakDiCowwwwwwww!!! Tak stress ke tissue2 breast dia? Anyway, salute her siolzzzzz :)
ReplyDeleteHah!!! My sifu dah voice out!!! Yeahhh....
ReplyDeleteOk teacher... i will drink more water sampai aku terkucil ntah braper kali satu hari...

ReplyDeleteTangKeYou SamiCinta... GUA CINTA SAMA LU!!! ahaks...
yeh true kak first few mths wen u pump out sikit.. wat i do was i breastfeed dini n after dat sblah tu kan meleleh so pump lah so means u do two things at one time dunno if it helps but i works for me.. :) i am still breasfeeding her nw tau hehehehe
ReplyDeleteNyahhh... for more details abt breastfeeding, i go to tis webbie http://www.baybsupplies.biz/forum/forum.asp?forum_id=9
ReplyDeleteFenugreek adalah sejenis kapsul yang harus diambil untuk menambahkan lagi stok susu cap gantung anda... tu pasal mak nak beli and try out cos some of the mothers took it and within 24hrs, their milk supply shoots up to 120 - 150ml skali pump siotsssssss!!! Kan selera kita nengok...
Me memang pump belen2 yg Adly tak nak minum but heh, stotet-et jer... ada ler dalam 20ml. Sakit puting aku nyah kena sedut dek mesen buatan orang. Lagik sodap kalau disedut dek Azmi... oppsssss!!! I mean Adly............ Ehemmm, tersasul plaks OPOCOT!!!
I don tink i can cos Mat Bond nyer mengeliats mak tak leh nak carry... silap2 terlepas dari pelukan aku, lagik parah nyah!!! Ahaksss...
ReplyDeleteLEPAKSSS sia wif ur reply...ahkahakakka!
ReplyDeletewah kecik2 pun ngeliat kuat hehehhehe
ReplyDeletehehe me too...as a 1st time mummy, i wanted to bf at least a year..but too bad, my milk depletes along the way...at times i can oni pump 10 ml..even more sedih.
ReplyDeletei took fenugreek seed which can be bought from natures farm...it helps though but on our part, we muz eat nutritious food like fish and rice. erm...then latch as much as possible....continue to pump and pump though takde milk....tapi perit sey....
most importantly, u muz be strez free and always tink positive....letak lah pic adly besau2 kat depan mata...kekeke....
hope it helps...neva gif up!!!
hmm.. u probz is the same as mine.. smp my hub kata bust jer besar tp susu takde..hehe.. aniwea, itz nt the prob wit u drinking much or not, its ur milk gland yg tk producing much.. btw, org2 tua kata cashew nuts helps too, but hw true, i lum cuba pasal masa my 2 boys, i totaolly gv up due to frustrations.. u try ar..
ReplyDeleteDalam puyut dah menggeliat sampai my supervisor anjatssss time Adly kicks her hand while touching my tummy.
